I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 242 Chapter 49: Witch(9)

Witch (9)

The Twelve Celestial Moons, the mysterious beings who inherited the power of the twelve moons, seasons, and elements.

Each was born with different powers, personalities, and appearances, so diverse that no two shared any similar traits.

Some hid in the gaps of different dimensions, mingling with spirits. Others created their own kingdoms in hidden places, ruling their subjects. Some slept for long periods, some endured self-imposed pain to suppress their power, and some lived among humans, disguising themselves as one of them.

Among them, Grey October was the least distinctive.

He merely wandered leisurely, observing the world without interfering in anything.

However, recently, the 'character' of Grey October began to slowly crack.

Despite his previous resolve not to meddle with the workings of the world, he started to intervene little by little.

'It's unavoidable.'

Though he moved with this thought, he knew better than anyone that there is no such thing as an 'unavoidable' action in this world, causing him to fall into a paradox and confusion.

'Why?'

The world follows the flow of destiny.

If the baker of the neighborhood bakery is destined to have bread for breakfast, it will inevitably happen.

Having observed destiny countless times, he firmly believed that 'destiny' was an unchangeable force.

But recently, something was amiss.

Others might not sense it, but Grey October could tell. The world was not flowing according to the rules of destiny.

He realized this decisively when he arrived at the Levian Coast of the Adolevit Kingdom.

'What is this...?'

The sea, which had been frozen for hundreds of years, had completely thawed, and the Levian Coast had regained its seasons, no longer suffering from extreme cold.

People were enjoying the warm summer season, wearing swimsuits and surfing at the beach. The Black Cross pirate ship, once eternally frozen in the heart of the sea, had become a tourist attraction.

This was strange.

Very... strange.

Knowing well from observing destiny countless times, the Levian Coast should have been a hellish place, covered in icy catastrophe, uninhabitable by any living creature.

But now, it was mimicking a summer vacation spot.

'What happened while I wasn't watching?'

He gazed at the sky with his gray eyes. Though no one could see the stars in the bright daylight, the constellations were clearly reflected in Grey October's eyes.

'This time, I won't just observe destiny.'

He soon averted his gaze from the stars and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait! That's a cliff! It's dangerous to go near the edge...!"

A man shouted at Grey October, but he disappeared into the gaps of gray space in an instant.

"Huh, what...?"

The man, trying to stop him, tilted his head, wondering if he had seen an illusion.

Strange things seem to happen frequently these days.
